Grandma's Little Valentine

February is a special month for the ladies in Jack's life - all of his living great-grandmothers have birthdays in February, as well as his paternal grandma. If February was a normal-lengthed month instead of so darn short, his maternal grandma would also have a February birthday - instead my mom was born on March 2. I always think how lucky Jack is to have so many wonderful women in his life, and how lucky I am to have them in MY life as well. Jack's "Grammy Judy" watches him a couple days during the week, which is no small task considering she also watches his two older cousins. Somehow even after spending her days with 3 small boys, she still has a smile on her face and perfect hair at the end of the day!

When Jack isn't with Grammy Jude during the week, he's at daycare. At first I was completely nervous and afraid to send him off with a bunch of strangers, but now I love it. I know that he's being cared for by a group of women who have come to truly care for my son, and he's close enough to my office that I get to spend lunch with him each day. When I picked him up this past Friday, I was given a special valentine that he made for his daddy and me...

Seriously, how stinking cute is that?! I love it.

I also love my little Valentine, who was not particularly pleased to get all dressed up in his finest red for one of mommy's photoshoots. Thanks to Great-Aunt Patti for the adorable Valentine monkey, he's bigger than Jack, but Jack LOVES him!
